    I have seen a few legal theorists saying there’s a possibility that’s illegal too. And if I had to gamble on who’s more likely to get fucked over between Elon and a regular person? I’d probably be willing to bet all of Elon’s money on the regular person getting shafted

      There’s no way they can see your vote. Doesn’t matter anyways.

      A country ain’t a democracy if your vote is public. See singapore as an example. The government gives all sorts of benefits and gifts to voters who vote for them.

        I meant taking his money to vote. Yes your vote is private but that you voted is not. So if you sign his form, collect his money, and then go vote, I have heard it is possibly illegal. Which is why I’d suggest most people just stay away from this rather than try to game his system

      If you look at the law linked in the other post… who makes an offer to… and who accepts an offer to. So both parties would be breaking the law. And I’ll bet Elon will have more ability to avoid consequences than normal people would.
